With a self-contained short story format, the episodes usually follow the same pattern: a person has suffered a thousand injuries (Cask of Amontillado, anyone?) from someone to the point where this person can't endure it any longer and accesses the Hell Correspondence website to submit a request to Ai Enma, AKA Hell Girl, to come and "get rid" of the person. Of course, she appears. When she comes, she will present a doll with a string that, once pulled, will send the bad person to Hell. After the person sending the antagonist to Hell pulls the string, Enma and her companions consult with the antagonist and doing so, offer a very last chance to repent, which, if not taken, the person shall be taken, well...to Hell. But one more thing, the price of sending that person to Hell is that the person making the request will be sent to Hell after their life is over as well.
My personal favorite of vampire anime, Vampire Knight centers on Yuki Cross, who remembers nothing of her childhood besides one snowy winter night, when she was almost attacked by a Level E (rogue) vampire, but luckily the vampire was stopped by the fabulous Kaname Kuran, a pureblood vampire. Yuki is known 10 years later as the daughter of the headmaster of Cross Academy and has been trained to become head of the disciplinary committee of the human and vampire classes at Cross Academy, protecting Kaname and his vampire buddies from discovery at this pacifist boarding school. Zero Kiryu is a childhood friend of Yuki's, who has a hatred for vampires seeing that they slaughtered his family. He also works on the disciplinary committee, but he has a secret that he can't let anyone know, not even Yuki. Of course, he's not the only one with secrets (*cough cough*).
Lain Iwakura is young girl living in suburban Japan in a world where an Internet-like technical reality exists called the Wired. She is somewhat introverted, and socially isolated from most of her school peers, but the status-quo of her life becomes upturned by a series of bizarre incidents which start to take place after girls at her school recipe fed an email from Chisa Yomoda, a schoolmate who had committed suicide. When Lain receives the message herself at home, it says that she is not dead, but has abandoned her body and is deep within the virtual reality-world of the Wired where she has found the almighty and divine God. Now Lain experiences a series of cryptic and surreal events that explore her reality.

There's a myth that when children play Kakurenbo, a game of hide and seek, after dark in a certain neighborhood, are kidnapped by demons!
A boy named Hikora is playing in the hope of finding his lost sister. When he gets to the alley where the game is set to begin, the streetlights flicker on their own, and the game begins. Hikora and his friends are playing the game to find Hikora's sister in the abandoned streets. When they pass through the gates to enter the abandoned streets, they are pursued by four different demons and then finally by the one demon who is "it". They are told, then, what happens to little kids that play this game...

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni takes place during 1983 in a small village called Hinamizawa. Keiichi Maebara, moves to Hinamizawa and his new classmates quickly become good friends of his. This new town seems normal at first. But that all ends after the annual Watanagashi Festival, a celebration to commemorate and give thanks to the local god, Oyashiro.

In each story arc, someone becomes paranoid, and a crime is committed. Usually, the crime involves the murder of one of their own friends.

Drumroll.....
Corpse Party surrounds a group of friends at a school which was built over an old school called Heavenly Host Elementary. They perform a spell/ritual that will allow them to stay friends forever. A sudden earthquake transports them to an alternate dimension where Heavenly Host remains where it once was and is haunted by the ghosts of the school's murdered children. The group must try to figure out the truth in order to find their way home and survive but unfortunately some don't make it. And they die...horrible deaths.
That's all for today. Hope to see you soon!
Stick around for other special.
Love,
The Dramanator
